I don't get a medal for being the only one in my plane to hit the enemy

Pretty awesome, need to get your pictures to work though...

**Rain Man** · 01-25-2004, 02:57 AM

Dang it, my pictures won't work. That's just not cool.

**Rain Man** · 01-25-2004, 02:58 AM

I'll bet the investigation costs Morphius some votes.

The investigation cleared him....and besides, where is the investigation into the fact that we discovered information that led us to believe that lazarus was a plant and was planning to take the plane back to the Motherland after killing his co-pilot?

You guys are investigating the wrong man...

With all the fratinization, its gonna be tough. Of course leaving out the fact that the flight controls were damaged, bomb doors shot open and my best shooter in the belly gunners gun left inoperable isn't helping my case either.

Hey, you're supposed to back me up, you're my teammate! I'd loan it to you on weekends-to help you get laid at the English Pubs.

Why do all the medals look the same?
